Defending Trinity & Paul

The pericope adulterae is missing from the earliest greek manuscripts and gets placed in different spots later. this is public knowledge….its never been a secret. It doesnt prove the bible is corrupted any more than a debated footnote in an old letter proves the whole document is a fraud. what a leap. Scholars bracket it for a reason….thats what good scribes do. they dont hide it from the text or burn competing copies. Early secondary attestation exists because the tradition was recorded openly rather than suppressed. The third century didascalia mentions the story. Eusebius reports that papias recorded a related account of a woman accused of many sins. Jerome said it was found in many greek and latin manuscripts so it was circulating even if it isnt original to john. This is what open transmission looks like. Variants and related traditions are documented and left in the record…not suppressed. By contrast the qurans transmission is closed. variant readings were standardized under uthman, competing codices were burned and hadiths STILL mention verses that didnt make the final text but its called perfectly preserved. The bible keeps the evidence while the quran removed it. So if you treat a well noted passage as proof of corruption then by that standard the quran would be corrupted. you cant have it both ways.
